Choosing a High School

Choosing a Catholic high school is one of the most important decisions in a young person’s life. The Archdiocese of Washington is home to 20 academically rigorous Catholic high schools that emphasize strong academics, faith, values, and service while enriching students through athletics, art, music, and cultural activities.
Whether in the heart of DC, or suburban Maryland, each of the Catholic high schools offers:
- Direct connection to our Catholic identity
- An academically excellent education
- A track record of sending graduates on to successful higher education experiences with millions of dollars of scholarship awards
- High graduation rates
- Highly respected and varied extracurricular and sports programs
We hope you and your child enjoy the experience.
